An ion-imaging search of presolar SiC grains from the Murchison meteorite revealed one grain whose isotopic ratios are highly unusual: ¹²C/¹³C = 844±34, ¹⁴N/¹⁵N = 213±21, ²⁹Si/²⁸Si = (3.68±0.02) times solar, and ³⁰Si/²⁸Si = (4.29±0.04) times solar. Although several populations of presolar SiC grains have been identified, most of which originate in low-mass asymptotic giant branch stars, this is the first grain of its kind among ∼ 20,000 SiC grains analyzed to date. Type II supernovae and Wolf-Rayet O binary systems are possible stellar sources.
